Even if you don't touch a marshmallow to a campfire flame, holding a marshmallow near a flame causes it to toast and turn brown. Why does this happen?

Hot air in the atmosphere cooks the marshmallow.

Heat radiates from the fire and cooks the marshmallow.

Smoke and soot from the fire cause the marshmallow to brown.

Dust blowing through the air causes the marshmallow to brown.
